It’s not for nothing that they say that fate is controlled by Mr. Chance. And even when they don’t ask for it at all. It was precisely this kind of incident that brought together two “opers” and one frostbitten brother in a forgotten cave during an ordinary, non-binding showdown. And this same incident forced the brother to pull the trigger of his TT. And then their fate was no longer driven by chance, but by an iron law. The shot was followed by a cave collapse, blocking the exit from the cave. And the same shot opened the Forgotten Roads - the corridors of time. A few steps into the light at the end of the cave... and they, instead of finding themselves among friends, were in another world. And another era. There is no turning back. Second book.
